Decent healthy bread

TL;DR - Decent, cheap, healthy bread.
Pros:
Very healthy
Good taste when coupled with other strong tastes (PB/jam, maybe a sandwich with good cheese, etc)
Packaged and can last awhile until opened (unlike bakery breads that should eaten within a week or two)
Cons:
Strong bitter taste. Eat this with something like like honey and the bread is overpowering
Crumbly and doesn't toast well (might be better as just a sandwich bread)
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the amount of healthy bread at this price. It's not the best tasting thing, or the easiest to eat when toasted, but it's still pretty decent. I prefer with peanut butter and jam. I've tried it with honey and the bread was overpowering the honey's taste. A sandwich with a good cheese might be decent, but any bland sandwich will likely be overpowered by the bread's taste again.
Since I live in a country where "healthy" bread is still just enriched white bread, colored brown, with maybe a couple grams of dietary fiber, this product is a great pickup for me as it's decent tasting and cheap. If you live in a country where healthy bread is a more viable option, I would suggest hitting up the bakery.

Why are you not selling the organic version?

I am German and I've been eating this bread for years. I love it. The supermarket in my city (which is often out of stock) sells the organic version. As I love iherb's convenience, I've been ordering this bread for quite a while now via iherb. I've only now realized to my horror that iherb is selling a non-organic version. What gives? Why are you not selling the organic version? I will stop ordering this bread from iherb until you start stocking the organic version.

This bread is the best!

I regularly order Mestemacher breads and have them shipped to my residence in South Korea, as I can't find anything like this here. The bread keeps really well in the freezer if you don't eat much bread. It is very filling and great toasted.
